I’m back from being on the road for the past month and am still blown away from such an incredible and diverse trip. Starting off the trip getting to spend a week with Linds in Paris was just perfect. Just as us east-coaster’s were ready for spring to arrive, so were the Parisians; we hit Paris with such perfect weather. As a result, we had a tough time doing the typical museum hopping and opted to mostly take it easy and spend time catching up, taking in the sun and eating way too much.

After the week Lindsey went back home to Baltimore and I continued on to Amman, Jordan and eventually to Syria. After spending 2 weeks working on various assignments, I met up with my dad in Jordan and we spent the week traveling all over Jordan. 

Because my plate is quite full right now, I am unable to go into detail about the trip and explain all the images. But I promise I will add captions soon.

For thousands of years, a tiny Syrian village has kept a well-guarded treasure: the language of Jesus. Tucked away in the Qalamoun Mountains, just north of Damascus, Syria, is Malula - one of the last places on earth where Aramaic is still spoken. 

The Petra you never see in photos. This place would take a lifetime to properly explore.
